This is one of those manga that I bought when I started to collect BL-Manga (over 10 years ago O.o) and I remember loving it back then.
But when I reread it today I just saw ALL the things that are problematic about it. I mean... Naoyuki is 18 in this series and he and his doctor became lovers when he had his accident? FIVE YEARS PRIOR? Did they become lovers when he was 13? WTF? I know there is a second Volume that I own but I can´t remember what happens in it. I will reread that one too and just hope that my Math doesn´t check out. Please, please, just let him at least be the age of consent when their whole relationship started. PLEASE.
The whole dynamic of their relationship is pretty fucked up too. Way too dependend on each other and just... no. So many times no.
The Art is beautiful and there ARE moments in this manga where the characters are cute and fit together but that doesn´t erase all the other crap. If I could go back in time I would slap my younger self in the face and tell her to buy some Sailor Moon Stickers instead (yes, I collected them - NO REGRETS).

This is my faviorite Yaoi Manga of all time. It could be for personal character reasons, but it is the most adorable book and it makes me squee! (goes for number 1 and 2)
